CPL 2019: Best XI of the tournament
The Tridents became champions for the second time while the Warriors slumped to their fifth defeat in the final out of seven seasons.
Fabian Allen (St Kitts and Nevis Patriots)
Fabian Allen played only 123 balls in the CPL 2019, but the impact he made, batting in the lower middle-order was no less than a top-order batsman. He mostly took the crease with the team in dire need of some quick runs.
Allen is among the rare breed of cricketers who can find the middle of the bat right from the outset and it’s his jaw-dropping strike-rate of 177.23 that manifests the same. He was one of the very reasons why the Patriots managed to qualify for the playoffs in what was a topsy-turvy season for them.
Allen was the Patriots’ third-highest run-scorer after Evin Lewis and Laurie Evans. He got 218 runs at an average of 27.25. Parking aside his batting, he didn’t disappoint his team even in the bowling department and was trusted to bowl inside the field restrictions.
